The primary election is May 15th. If a candidate gets more than half of the vote, their name will be the only one featured on the November ballot. If no one gets a majority, the top two-vote getters advance to a runoff election.

A handful of candidates will also compete for the Eugene Water and Electric Board’s At-Large position, while EWEB’s Wards 4 & 5 has only one candidate.

John Simpson is not seeking re-election, which leaves his at-large, citywide seat open. The three candidates are Mindy Schlossberg, Victor Odlivak, and Zach Mulholland.

Incumbent John Brown represents North Eugene on the EWEB board. He’s running again, unopposed. Brown joined the board in 2007 and is currently its president.
